Indiana returns to the hardwood tonight as they resume Big Ten play against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Indiana had what could be looked at as a disappointing non-conference record with two losses and already a loss in Big Ten play.
The Hoosiers will take on a solid Rutgers team that has suffered a few losses, some solid teams in non-conference play, and opened up Big Ten play with a loss against Ohio State. Indiana will have to key in Rutger's star player, Ace Bailey, who just dropped 24 points on Columbia two days ago.
Indiana is hoping to build off a performance against Winthrop where the Hoosiers struggled to shoot but were able to out-rebound the Eagles to help walk away with the win. After Oumar Ballo was reported as being benched for spending a night at the bar before their game against Winthrop, it looks like the sixth-year senior will be available against Rutgers for the Hoosiers.
Mike Woodson will look to rally his team to push the Hoosier's win streak to three as they begin the thick of their Big Ten play.
